National Pepper Pot Day: A dish that won the war


National Pepper Pot Day is celebrated to remember the dish that was nicknamed as the soup which won the war. The day is marked annually on December 29. There was a very terrible and ruthless cold in 1777-1778. 

The Continental Army was fighting for the newly formed United States of America during the Revolutionary War. As the soldiers camped at Valley Forge in 1997 on December 29, George Washington asked the chef of the army to make a meal which would warm them and boost their spirits. 

The chef took some tripe, pieces of meat, pepper and other ingredients and made Pepper Pot Soup, which was also known as Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup. The soup was enjoyed by the troops and nicknamed as the soup which won the war. The day can be enjoyed by making Pepper Pot Soup and the recipe of the same is available online.

Symbiosexuality: A new trend taking the Internet by storm

  Recently, a new form of sexual attraction called symbiosexuality has been identified by researchers. To put it in a simpler form, the term means that a person who has this kind of feeling is connecting themselves to the energy which is already shared between an existing couple.  People who are symbiosexuals find the energy of a partnership appealing and they also want to get involved in the same. They fall in love with the love which is already between two people and want to become a part of that love. Symbiosexuals are extroverts, who want more care, attention and intimacy and do not experience jealousy. Normally, the third person in this relationship is treated poorly and is objectified a lot.  The research on this sexuality is still ongoing and many new findings might be identified after thorough research.

The reason behind these increasing crime rates varies from person to person.  The fact remains that as we are developing the country's crime rate is also increasing.
